Established in 2016, and first awarded in 2017, the Steven Petrow LGBTQ Fellowship is open to visual artists, writers, and composers who self-identify as LGBTQ. This juried fellowship is awarded on a competitive basis, and the selection is made based on the quality of the submitted work. The Petrow Fellowship is a fully-funded, two-week residency that provides a private bedroom, separate studio, and all meals in a community of 25 visual artists, writers, and composers.

The Steven Petrow LGBTQ Fellowship is handled through the VCCA residency program for the summer scheduling period (June – September) and does not have a separate application. Please select the fellowship in question one of your application.
